Having spent my career in Government and teaching Government now, I love this stuff. However, as I take it all in, I put it all in perspective. That's the key. All the information about candidates that is provided by the candidates or which is reported and discussed by the media are parts that, together, constitute the whole. There is a relevance hierarchy of information and it is up to each of us to design our own hierarchy. From that perspective we should be able to divine a cogent whole on which we can base an election decision.
